Bob ,


All the early petrol tanks had the oval brass or die cast plate on top . The Chev version has 6 holes for the tank sender unit , from memory the Ford version has 5 holes . The tap is for selecting the reserve petrol compartment in the tank , the tank is partitioned off into two compartments , a main , and reserve .


Sounds like you may have a tank for a C8 , if it has a short vertical neck . I thought the C15 tanks had a angled filler on the side , same as the 3 tonners ect. ?

Vics truck pictured has a sort of , home made body that features a bit of this and that . Its not strictly 100% correct , its like a GS body No. 1 (Aust.) but with a later spare tyre carrier .

You would be better off making a replica steel 2A1 type body . The early Canadian built wooden 15 cwt bodies I have only ever seen on the cab 11 F15 's . Didn't Pete Ashby in the UK build a 2A1 body for his cab 12 C15A ? He would have the plans you need .

The Delco Shocks , I just cleaned them up and put a bit of hydraulic jack fluid in them , as you said , they dont do much anyway , unless your planning to jump over logs at 40 MPH .
